This final paper deals with three modernist novels: Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Edward Morgan Forster's A Room with a View. This examination of the selected novels focuses on the role of water imagery that prevails in modernist literary fiction, generally speaking. The role of water imagery is explained as modernist authors’ response to a new sense of space at the beginning of the twentieth century. It highly contributed literary presentation of fluidity, rapid changes and instability of modern way of life based on mobility and displacement. This paper especially addresses issues like Conrad’s transnational narrative, Woolf’s mutual relations between inner and outer spaces and Forster’s flux.
